tonight i am sad

and i can't get into it here, as i am not a confessional blogger. i'm a just-skim-the-surface-and-talk-about-the-fun-things blogger. but it was a hard day and it has just left me a little sad. sad and exhausted. you know that feeling you get in your eyes after you swim a lot of laps? anyway... stupid lent! i gave up all my security-blanket behavior (except for avoidance — so at least i have some cozy patterns to fall back on) for the next forty days and forty nights. so it just figures that ash wednesday brings challenges and obstacles.

can i get a sigh?

more and more from the subway

from witold riedel i find many interesting things. first there are his little subway drawings. which i love. no, first was the man-and-sock-dog picture, which brought us to witold in the first place. and then it was the subway drawings. and then there was just the plethora of many other things to see and read and do and interact with — internal links to his own projects and external links to many a surprising place.

today it was an introduction to david crawford. check out the subway stop motion series. awesome.

i'll leave you with a quote

The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions, and to all people, experiencing everything totally without mental reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes into oneself. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
